Another thing to check is localtime vs UTC in YaST, System, Date & Time. IF you have multi-boot and boot into Windows most systems require that you use localtime to keep the system time consistent between Windows and Linux boots. This is very true on my system even if I never boot to Windows these days. All I have to do is boot Windows once a year and my clock is off IF I don't have YaST set to localtime. On other systems it does not seem to make a difference. Just another thing to check and YMMV.

Stan - This is good to know. I always set to local time (I think). I have two hard drives and dual boot system with Windoze XP SP2. I'll make a special effort to be careful about setting in local time. Thanks. Kelly
I would recommend using date and hwclock commands combination instead of YaST. It seems that YaST updates the current time for the current boot only and does not update hardware clock on your motherboard. That's why you lose your settings every time you reboot.

Dmitry - Thanks very much - I remembered "date" had forgotten about "hwclock." Also, what about "setclock' - what does that do? Kelly
